Tomorrows Table Podcast

Welcome back to Moms Building Community Podcast, where we connect families with the leaders, resources, and conversations that help shape stronger communities.We are honored to welcome Nancy Dunn, Vacaville Unified School District Board President, and Sasha Begell, Superintendent of Vacaville Unified School District, for an important conversation about education, leadership, and the future of our schools.In this episode, we talk about the importance of supporting students not only academically, but also socially, emotionally, and as part of a larger community. We also discuss how families, educators, and district leaders can work together to create stronger schools and more opportunities for every child.This conversation is about putting students first, supporting families, and building a future where academics, connection, and community all come together.

Today’s interview with Judge Dan Healy was nothing short of phenomenal. As Supervising Judge at the Vallejo courthouse, he presides over felony matters and several collaborative treatment calendars including Drug Court, Reentry Court, Mental Health Court, and Veterans Treatment Court work that centers treatment, accountability, and dignity for impacted residents. Judge Dan Healy’s insight is vital and needed for our communities. We were in awe listening to how he leads with empathy, understanding, and accountability seeing the human story beyond the charge, without letting the charge define the person. What moved us most was how he conveyed it and how he proceeds as a judge. A leader with compassion is powerful to witness.

Behind the recording with Fairfield Fire Chief John Sturdee🚒 We learned SO much, clear pathways for youth to earn the education and certifications to become firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics, plus practical fire-safety tips families can use today. This episode is a must-listen! Chief Sturdee is a man of honor, community, and family—we truly enjoyed this conversation.
